Could someone fix Microsoft Update to allow browsing during downloads?

It would really help if Microsoft woke up and remembered they have a
browser now that, in one window, allows users to browse the web while MU
downloads stuff. As such,


NO MODAL WINDOWS ALLOWED!!!!!!

If you feel that's a good idea, open another IE window by starting
IE again and you're done.

New windows should not be required!!!!!!! I won't accept that. Either
IE is now multi-tabbed -- or not. Besides, I don't use IE except for
Microsoft sites. I was using tabbed browsers back when IE 7 was a mere
pipe dream.

Sounds like you need to switch to a new OS. Deep six it and take your
attitude with you. You've just trashed your chances for any future
assistance.

Who are you talking to? I am trying to make Windows and Microsoft
Update better. That won't "trash my chances for any future assistance."

Actually, I do use Firefox. There is an extension called IETab that
allows you to view sites that depend on IE inside Firefox -- and still
have them run inside IE.

With most of Microsoft's sites, that is sufficient. However, Microsoft
Update demands it's own window. At that point, you might as well
dedicate a stand-alone IE window to it.

The problem is that even when IE is not your default browser, you want a
Microsoft Update bookmark URL file. If Firefox is your default browser,
it takes a shortcut to IE, not Microsoft Update, to avoid opening
Firefox to view the website.
